Seeking help to increase compressed air pressure
Thread Content
The existing compressed air supply has a pressure of 0.4 MPa and a flow rate of 80 cubic meters per minute, but the site requires compressed air with a pressure of 0.8 MPa and the same flow rate of 80 cubic meters per minute. What equipment, such as air storage tanks, is needed to increase the pressure of the compressed air for use? Thank you!
If the amount of 0.8 MPa is very small, a pressure cylinder can be used to increase the pressure. Since the air consumption remains the same at 80 cubic meters per minute, a booster air compressor system should be added to increase the pressure from 0.4 MPa to 0.8 MPa. The air supply at 0.4 MPa is fed directly into the compressor, where it is pressurized to 0.8 MPa and then stored in a buffer air tank for later use.
I think it’s better to just use an air compression unit with a capacity of 80 m3/min
I agree with this view; simply replacing it with a compressor that meets the pressure and flow requirements might be more cost-effective.
To make use of this pressure, increasing the compressor is the most direct approach
The simplest approach is to use the existing 0.8MPA compressed air equipment; this is a standard option and the easiest to implement
Agree with the person above. Of course, compressors can also be connected in series
A pressure boost valve will do; it’s convenient and simple
One set of primary air compression units is sufficient.
It’s best to use a compressor with a capacity of 0.8 directly. If there are no users or very little traffic at 0.4, then consider using 0.8 directly and reduce the allocation for 0.4.
